Siku is a performance by Cie Tita8lou, presented under its original title. With no further production details available, the work is best approached through the live encounter itself: the title offers a point of departure, while the performance gives shape to its own artistic world. Rather than presupposing a story or style, this description leaves room for the work to speak on its own terms and for each audience member to form a personal response.

String quartet Quatuor Aviv presents an intimate programme featuring Anna Göckel and Brandon Garbot on violins, Noémie Bialobroda on viola and Daniel Mitnitsky on cello. The programme juxtaposes Haydn’s lively Quartet in C major, Op. 54 No. 2 with Alban Berg’s intense, expressionist String Quartet Op. 3 and Mendelssohn’s radiant Quartet in D major, Op. 44 No. 1. Refined ensemble playing, precise articulation and warm sonorities invite close listening and emotional contrast.

Featuring guitar teachers and students from the Conservatoire populaire and dancers from the pre‑professional contemporary class of Emilio Artessero Quesada, this program stages a dialogue between dance and guitar rooted in Cuban repertoire. Works by Leo Brouwer — including the complete 20 Études simples and Paisajes cubanos — weave minimalism, serial techniques and Cuban folklore into a dense rhythmic tapestry. The performance balances precise instrumental textures and kinetic, communal choreography, offering vivid sonic colours and pulsing movement.
Invited by the OSR, Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Berner Symphonieorchester with Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi in a programme devoted to Johannes Brahms. The evening contrasts the Piano Concerto No. 1—born in mourning, marked by solemn intensity—with the radiant serenity of Symphony No. 2. The interpretation privileges orchestral warmth, layered textures and clear dynamic shaping, transporting listeners into an intimate, emotionally charged sound world where lyricism and dramatic surges alternate with measured poise.
Part of Recluses Fest #10, this evening brings a rare tribute to Parabellum alongside performances by Ring of Cash and Vikie. Former members of Parabellum reunite with guests and local scene stalwarts to revisit cult anthems with raw intensity and communal fervour. Ring of Cash blends power-folk-rock energy with Juliette Canouet’s captivating voice, supported by Mika Garcia, Jean-Philippe Soler and Xa Mesa. Vikie opens with a punk-tinged, politically charged chanson, creating an exhilarating, sweat-soaked atmosphere.
